The world actually does need idiots though; how many geniuses do you see driving cabs or moping shit up of a subway floor? Social sponges, on the other hand, I would not mind getting rid of. Something along the lines of: if you have been on welfare for three years and haven’t looked for a job in one year then your next welfare check comes coated in Anthrax.

heres an even better idea. lets kill off all the smart people. no, wait! hear me out! see, if we kill off all the smart people, there will be 2 benefits of this. the first is that many of the previously classified "stupid" people will now be smart, because youve lowered the bar. new smart people! yay! the second, is that all the so called "smart" people wont have to deal with all the "stupid" people that they find so annoying, and they wont be upset about it! alright! now if you go the other way, and you kill off all the "stupid" people, you have 2 very bad outcomes. the first is that some of the previously called "smart" people will become "stupid" because the bar has been raised. That sucks for them, because now your gonna have to kill them, right? the second bad outcome, is as previously mentioned, many workers will now be gone, and all the "smart" people will have to get off their asses and take "stupid" people jobs so that they can get all the things they want.

in case you couldnt tell, i was being a little satirical there...and i have to agree with nobody (that sounds odd), killing is bad.

with regards to the "worker bee" response to killing the stupid:

not the case, if you look throughout history you'll see that many great innovations come as a response to necessity, and that necessity inevitably spawns a solution. If the "worker bees" went away, the odds are that the smart people who survived would be able to generate a solution (such as automating many of those tasks). They do not develop such a solution now, because there's no need -- no energy is expended in that direction due to a lack of necessity.

And to nobody -- why is killing bad? If I kill someone who just shot my brother, my father and mother and is about to shoot my wife is that wrong or is that justified self-defense? And if that's okay, then is it okay for the state to execute a known sociopathic homocidal maniac? And if that's okay... where do you draw the line? Your statement suggested that ALL killing is wrong - but I have a hard time imagining anybody actually believes this (except perhaps the severely misguided).

even the dalai lama took up a rifle when the chinese army closed in on tibet.

not all killing is wrong, but all killing is grievous.

if you want innovation from necessity, secretly create problems for people to solve (i.e. no more petrolium=super efficient electric cars, incoming asteroid=super advanced space technology, over population=martian colonization, etc.)

and seriously guys talking about mass killing is fucked up please dont joke about it. i just came back from the holocause museum in jerusalem a couple weeks ago...you wouldn't joke about it if you did too

holocaust, not sure if that was a typo or if you really think its holocause. In any case, what does that "innovation from necessity" statement exactly mean? human beings are facing none of those problems at this time, and as a common response if its not in our faces then most people wont even think about those problems. by the time any of those occurences pop up it will be to late for any orginizations to come up with anything. The reason for this is that the orginizations that come up with this stuff are usually funded by the government or very wealthy individuals. If the government doesnt see these inventions within their best interest, and it does cost a lot of money, then they generally wont support it.
